Gmina Brzesko

Gmina Brzesko is a municipality in Lesser Poland Voivodeship combining urban and rural settlements within one administrative area. The territory includes several villages and towns such as Bucze, Jadowniki, Jasien, Mokrzyska, Okocim, Poreба Spytkowska, Sterkowiec, Szczepanow, and Wokowice.

The municipality was formed in 1999 during Poland's major administrative restructuring, creating a new local government entity within Brzesko County. This reorganization established the current boundaries and governance framework.

The town of Brzesko serves as the administrative and social hub where urban and rural residents meet and interact. This role shapes daily life and makes the place a gathering point for the surrounding communities.

The municipality spreads across a territory combining both developed town areas and countryside, so visitors will encounter different types of settlements. The various villages and hamlets are scattered throughout the region, requiring time to explore them all.

Farmland covers most of the municipal territory, while forests form a smaller but visible portion of the landscape. This balance between agriculture and woodland creates the area's distinctive character.
